MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
1. Industry Outlook
Plastic is one of the cheapest material for FlexiblePackaging, Agriculture and Industrial applications. Despitebeing among the fastest growing market globally, India’sper capita plastic consumption is at 7 kgs. As comparedto the world average of 30 kg.
Global automobile, food processing packing and healthcare companies have established large manufacturingbases in India. Industry is expected to grow at the rateof 10 to 12% per annum in time to come.
2. Opportunities and Threat
The opportunities that the company seeks and developsto sustain long term growth in both domestic and exportmarkets for films, are related to a relatively high technologycontent. These films applications are in non traditionalmarket segment, where the risk of backward integrationis relatively less compared to traditional film applicationfor packaging.
The industry has encountered high volatili ty anduncertainty on price movement of raw material.Dependency on imported raw material for certain criticalapplications is a recognised risk.
3. Segment-wise and Product –wise performance
The company has only one segment namely MultilayerFilms
4. OutlookThe outlook for the Company is positive. The Company’sability to innovate on film structures has been wellrecognised and that is one of the main attributes fortaking advantage of the growth potential in Specialityfilms, in the Industrial Sector.
5. Risks and Concern.
The Company faces normal business challenges frommarket competition and needs to continuously searchattractive growth areas and opportunities. The Companyhas so far adapted successfully to changes in the marketenvironment.
The company now caters to a wider range of applicationsand user industries, with resultant lower risk in aneconomic downturn.
Operational risk: Payment recoveries in uncertaineconomic conditions are and will continue to be a risk,which will need a very close attention.
Competition Risk: In order to mitigate competition riskthe Company is moving into higher value added products,which are difficult to replicate and need time and technicalservice competency for product acceptance.
Financial risk: The Company’s operations are exposedto various types of financial risks, like currency risk,interest risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The continuousmonitoring of cash flow and market factors helps inminimizing these risks and disruptions in normaloperations.
Litigation risk: Outcome of litigation in matters of TaxLaw or in any other statutory obligation cannot alwaysbe predicted and therefore also poses a risk. Currentlythere is no litigation of any materially significant value.
6. Internal Control Systems and their adequacy:
The Company has a proper and adequate system ofinternal controls commensurate with its nature and sizeof business and meets the following objectives:
• Providing assurance regarding the effectiveness andefficiency of operations;
• Efficient use and safeguarding of resources;
• Compliance with policies, procedures and applicablelaws and regulations; and
• Transactions being accurately recorded and reportedtimely.
• The Company has a budgetary control system tomonitor expenditures and operations against budgetson an on going basis.

NOTE NO. 43
The Company prior to it being listed had issued Bonus shares on 29th June, 1994 for Rs. 10 Million (10,00,000 equity shares
of Rs. 10/- each) by capitalising part of its revaluation reserve. Accordingly, the paid up equity share capital of the
company stands increased by Rs. 10 Million and the revaluation reserve stands reduced by that amount. The issue of
bonus shares as aforesaid is contrary to the circular issued by the Department of Company Affairs issued in September,
1994 and the recommendations of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India issued in November, 1994. However, the
Hon’ble Supreme Court in the recent decision in the case of Bhagwati Developers Vs Peerless General Finance &
Investment Co. & others (2005) Comp LJ 377 (SC) has held that there is no specific bar under the Companies Act for issue
of Bonus Shares out of Revaluation Reserve and that the Department’s Communique was advisory in nature, without any
mandatory effect. The Management is therefore of the opinion that both according to the accounting principles and
provisions of Company Law, the Company was justified in capitalizing its Revaluation Reserve.

NOTE NO. 41
The Company prior to it being listed had issued Bonus shares on 29th June, 1994 for Rs. 10 Million (10,00,000 equityshares of Rs. 10/- each) by capitalising part of its revaluation reserve. Accordingly, the paid up equity share capital of thecompany stands increased by Rs. 10 Million and the revaluation reserve stands reduced by that amount. The issue ofbonus shares as aforesaid is contrary to the circular issued by the Department of Company Affairs issued in September,1994 and the recommendations of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India issued in November, 1994. However, theHon’ble Supreme Court in the recent decision in the case of Bhagwati Developers Vs Peerless General Finance &Investment Co. & others (2005) Comp LJ 377 (SC) has held that there is no specific bar under the Companies Act for issueof Bonus Shares out of Revaluation Reserve and that the Department’s Communique was advisory in nature, without anymandatory effect. The Management is therefore of the opinion that both according to the accounting principles andprovisions of Company Law, the Company was justified in capitalizing its Revaluation Reserve.
